00:00:01Three years. Three years I've loved him.
00:00:05Everyone tells me Ethan will never change.
00:00:08That a man like him only loves himself.
00:00:12But they don't see the real Ethan.
00:00:14I know he loves me.
00:00:17Thank you so much. I really, really appreciate it.
00:00:22Tonight it will be our big night.
00:00:24And I'll give him all of me.
00:00:26We'll make a beautiful baby together.
00:00:30A family of our own.
00:00:44I'm so sorry.
00:00:57Let's see...
00:01:04Is this right?
00:01:19Don't worry.
00:01:21I'll take it.
00:01:24There are so many ghosts.
00:01:26You'll be back.
00:01:26I'll take it.
00:01:26I'll take that.
00:01:26Oh, my God.
00:01:36Oh, my God.
00:02:00Oh, my God.
00:02:02Marla, you're early.
00:02:05Why so shocked, babe?
00:02:08You're always talking about wanting to try new things.
00:02:13Come and join us.
00:02:19Three years.
00:02:21Three years I wasted on you.
00:02:24God, I'm such an idiot.
00:02:27I was thinking I was going to have a baby with you.
00:02:32Baby?
00:02:34Sweetheart, you wouldn't even put out after three years,
00:02:37and now you're thinking about playing mommy.
00:02:41Though, if you're finally ready to spread those legs,
00:02:45these lovely ladies can show you how it's done.
00:02:50Screw you.
00:03:02I'm not going to let you take this from me, too.
00:03:09You know what?
00:03:09I don't need a man to make my dreams come true.
00:03:13One appointment, one sperm donor, I can have a baby of my own.
00:03:25Six months to produce an heir or I lose control of Crawford Industries to my nephew.
00:03:31Everything I've built over the last decade, gone.
00:03:35The surrogate candidates are all, for all the words,
00:03:39Ivy League are educated, impeccable health histories.
00:03:41I don't need their resumes, Thompson.
00:03:44I need someone who won't turn this into a media circus.
00:03:46Find me someone who knows your place,
00:03:48and will disappear after delivery.
00:03:55Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:04:33Miss, are you here for the interview?
00:04:37The interview?
00:04:39Yes, of course.
00:04:44Yes.
00:04:45Okay.
00:04:50Please sit.
00:04:56Right, um, let's get started.
00:05:01Hey, um, education background.
00:05:05Excuse me?
00:05:06And I'm gonna need a full medical history, specifically genetic disorders.
00:05:12Do you work out?
00:05:14I mean, you look acceptable.
00:05:24Do you have any idea who I am?
00:05:28I'm just trying to be thorough.
00:05:30It's about creating a healthy baby, after all.
00:05:34I are attractive men, so follow themselves.
00:05:39I don't care if you're Brad Pitt.
00:05:42I need to know your reproductive history.
00:05:44So, sexual partners in the last six months?
00:05:48Mr. Crawford, I can't show how it.
00:05:52Thompson, leave us.
00:05:56What are you doing?
00:05:59Making sure this interview is more thorough.
00:06:09Harvard Business School, MBA, top of class.
00:06:13No family history of genetic disorders.
00:06:16I work you out five times a week.
00:06:19As for intimate matters,
00:06:23I can assure you performance has never been an issue.
00:06:29Now Thompson is gone, are you comfortable to share yours?
00:06:34Yes, of course.
00:06:38I'm perfectly healthy too, no genetic disorders, and I get regular checkups.
00:06:45I've even been taking prenatal vitamins.
00:06:50You really do seem like the perfect match.
00:06:54Good.
00:06:55Now, regarding compensation, what figure did you have in mind?
00:07:01Well, I was thinking around $800.
00:07:06Eight hundred.
00:07:07I expected the fee to be significantly higher.
00:07:12I know, I know it's not a lot of money, but
00:07:16considering the quality, I could help, I can do paperwork, whatever.
00:07:22Thompson, bring in the contracts.
00:07:32All of this?
00:07:33Seriously?
00:07:35Take your time to review, but the key point is after birth, the child stays with me.
00:07:42No contact.
00:07:44You want to keep my baby? Are you insane?
00:07:53That's standard procedure for surrogacy arrangements.
00:07:56Surrogacy?
00:07:57What surrogacy?
00:07:58The position you're interviewing for.
00:08:00Interview?
00:08:02I'm hated by sperm.
00:08:04You came to what?
00:08:06I thought you were a donor, that's why I was asking you all the questions about the history and stuff.
00:08:12I thought you were here to be my surrogate.
00:08:15Right, um, well, I guess, I guess I've, um, made a mistake, so I'm just gonna go.
00:08:21Wait!
00:08:25A million dollars for carrying my child.
00:08:30I want my own baby, Mr. Crawford, not somebody else's.
00:08:36Ah, you might need that.
00:08:46Clean this up.
00:08:47Uh, bring in the next.
00:08:56Hello?
00:08:57Miss Reed, your father.
00:08:59You need to come now.
00:09:01Okay, I'm coming here.
00:09:23Doctor, how is he? How is my father?
00:09:26The cancer is spread aggressively without immediate treatment.
00:09:29Then, then do something.
00:09:31Save him.
00:09:33Is there, is there a treatment that you can do?
00:09:35There is a new treatment.
00:09:37Okay, then, then let's do it.
00:09:39But maybe it's quite expensive.
00:09:41How much?
00:09:42Around one million dollars.
00:09:44A million dollars?
00:09:46Yes.
00:09:48Can I get a, a loan or something?
00:09:51Actually, this is a new technology.
00:09:53And there is no loan policy. Sorry.
00:10:22I'm not going to get a loan.
00:10:24I'm not going to get a loan.
00:10:26I'm not going to get a loan.
00:10:27I'm not going to get a loan.
00:10:31I'm not going to get a loan.
00:10:35This is the last batch.
00:10:36Yes, sir.
00:10:38The blonde wants to know about ring sizes.
00:10:41And Brunette asked about moving in.
00:10:45And the red heard...
00:10:47All of them want the Crawford name.
00:10:50It was qualified.
00:10:54She was refreshing.
00:10:56No pretense.
00:10:57No schemes.
00:10:59But she wasn't even here for surrogacy.
00:11:03Sometimes the best candidate isn't looking for the job.
00:11:19I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:11:23I'm Adrian Crawford.
00:11:31I've been thinking.
00:11:36About yesterday, I may have been a bit hasty.
00:11:40You're reconsidering.
00:11:41Don't sound so smug about it.
00:11:42I have my reasons.
00:11:44As do I.
00:11:47I'd like to propose a modification to the original terms.
00:11:53What kind of modification?
00:11:55Joint custody.
00:11:56You wouldn't be just carrying the child.
00:11:58You'd be the baby's mother.
00:12:00Why would you agree to that?
00:12:01You're honest.
00:12:03Direct.
00:12:05No hidden agenda.
00:12:07Qualities I want in my child's mother.
00:12:09So I'd really get to be a part of the baby's life?
00:12:11Yes, but understand this clearly.
00:12:14We'll be parents.
00:12:16Nothing more.
00:12:17No romantic entanglements.
00:12:20No emotional expectations.
00:12:24Don't flutter yourself.
00:12:26God, rich men and their egos.
00:12:32Father.
00:12:33The board is getting impatient.
00:12:36Have you considered the arrangements I suggested?
00:12:39I've already made my own plans.
00:12:41Adrian, if you're thinking of using some random surrogate to produce an heir, forget it.
00:12:48The Crawford name means something.
00:12:51I won't let it be tainted by...
00:12:53I've already chosen my fiancé.
00:12:55What?
00:12:56We'll discuss this at dinner.
00:12:59Did I just get promoted from surrogate to fiancé?
00:13:07Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you just say, just parents, nothing more?
00:13:15The situation requires...
00:13:18adaptation.
00:13:20Is that CEO talk for I change my mind?
00:13:23If we need a convincing story, you'll be staying at my house during the pregnancy.
00:13:28And after the baby comes?
00:13:29We'll arrange for an amicable separation, continue parenting, and I'll arrange for any additional compensation for the complexity.
00:13:38The original amount is fine, but I am going to need it soon.
00:13:56Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:14:07Welcome to the family, Miss Reed.
00:14:20Well, well, well.
00:14:22Missed me so much, you tracked me down.
00:14:29Can't get over me, huh?
00:14:33Following me here like a lost puppy?
00:14:35Following you?
00:14:36Why would I...
00:14:36What are you doing here?
00:14:39Sweetheart, this is my family's house. I'm sure you know that.
00:14:45You never let me have sex with you, but look at you now, sneaking into my house.
00:14:51Finally realize what you're missing, baby?
00:14:53Get your hands off me, you creep!
00:14:56Playing hard to get used to be cute, but now?
00:14:59Come on, baby. We both know this is what you came here for.
00:15:04Uncle, what are you doing?
00:15:06Get your filthy hands off my fiancée.
00:15:10You're...
00:15:11You're...
00:15:12What?
00:15:13Fiancée?
00:15:16Fiancée?
00:15:17How could she be your fiancée? She's just...
00:15:19Watch your mouth.
00:15:20Show some respect to your future aunt.
00:15:25This is crazy.
00:15:27You seriously don't know.
00:15:28I won't repeat myself. Stay away from my fiancée. One more word? You can kiss that trust fund. Goodbye.
00:15:53You all right?
00:15:55Yeah, so Ethan. He's your nephew.
00:16:01Then he's your...
00:16:03Well, he was...
00:16:04He's kind of...
00:16:06He was my boyfriend.
00:16:08I mean, ex-boyfriend. I mean, like, extremely ex-ex-boyfriend.
00:16:13I see.
00:16:16Thompson will bring your things in shortly.
00:16:19Sorry.
00:16:22Um, so, where am I staying?
00:16:27Here.
00:16:30What?
00:16:31Unless you prefer explaining to the staff why the happy couple sleep in separate rooms.
00:16:37Oh, of course.
00:16:38Fake engagement. Real roommates.
00:16:43Don't worry. I'll be a perfect gentleman.
00:17:11What are you doing?
00:17:13This is the line. Don't cross it. Ever.
00:17:19For sure.
00:17:21Good.
00:17:37My plan worked perfectly.
00:17:43Wait.
00:17:44How did I?
00:17:53Sir, are you okay?
00:17:57Fine.
00:17:58Continue.
00:18:07Stay on your side.
00:18:15Lila, wake up.
00:18:21Lila, please.
00:18:42Control.
00:18:44This needs me.
00:18:45Control.
00:19:01Sorry.
00:19:02Didn't see you there.
00:19:07You're always in the way.
00:19:12Ah, my brother's mysterious fiancé.
00:19:16Mrs. Crawford.
00:19:17Catherine, please. We're family now. Supposedly.
00:19:22Helen, tea, please.
00:19:24Yes, Mrs. Crawford.
00:19:28So tell me, dear, how did you and Adrian meet exactly?
00:19:33Through mutual friends.
00:19:37Oh, really? Mutual friends.
00:19:42What friend of Adrian's would possibly move in your social circles?
00:19:48Unless this is more of a business arrangement?
00:19:52I'm sorry?
00:19:54Well, a girl of your position, surely some negotiation was involved?
00:19:59The only negotiation was whether I would take his last name or keep my own.
00:20:12Next weekend is our family dinner, and as Adrian's fiancé, your presence is required.
00:20:20I'd be honored.
00:20:23Perfect. I'm sure you can find something more appropriate to wear.
00:20:30You can go now.
00:20:43Excuse me, Miss Rie. I need to clean.
00:20:45Of course. Let me just move this.
00:20:48Ah.
00:20:52Is this what you're wearing to the family dinner?
00:20:56How creative.
00:20:58Must be hard in your family.
00:21:00Watching you chase after rich men.
00:21:03Let me help you with this.
00:21:05Your dress!
00:21:07How clumsy of me.
00:21:09You did that on purpose.
00:21:11Do you think you can really marry Mr. Crawford?
00:21:13You're just trash trying to climb the social ladder.
00:21:20Mr. Crawford, she just attacked me.
00:21:26I was trying to help with the-
00:21:27Get out!
00:21:28But I was just-
00:21:29One more word and you're fired.
00:21:32Get out!
00:21:41What happened?
00:21:42Nothing.
00:21:43I need some space.
00:21:45I want to stay in the guest room tonight.
00:21:46Lila, you don't have to do that.
00:21:48I need some space.
00:21:52You take the bed, I'll take the sofa.
00:21:55I miss you so much, daddy.
00:21:58Don't worry about me, okay?
00:22:00As long as we can get you better,
00:22:02I won't let their words get to me.
00:22:04I promise.
00:22:06Lila, what happened?
00:22:08What should I do?
00:22:22How's the happy couple?
00:22:32Oh, that's awkward.
00:22:36Just a small break.
00:22:39Um, that is not a small pinch.
00:22:41It's okay.
00:22:42I'm here.
00:22:44You're safe.
00:22:47Perfect timing for the injection.
00:22:53Okay.
00:22:55Sounds good.
00:23:00Say hello to you.
00:23:02But you need to listen to me.
00:23:07Uh-huh.
00:23:08Hey-ya.
00:23:09, ah-h-h-h-h-h.
00:23:32Focus. This is just a simple, medical procedure.
00:23:38Just pretend she's not right outside.
00:23:45Mr. Crawford, is everything okay in there?
00:23:48Yeah, I'm fine. I just need some assistance.
00:23:53Oh, do you need my help?
00:23:55No, I didn't mean...
00:23:57Are you sure? Honestly, it's fine. I can come in if you need me to.
00:24:01Come in.
00:24:13So, you want to help?
00:24:14Of course. What, what do you need me to?
00:24:21Oh, you're...
00:24:22Oh, you're...
00:24:24I'm so sorry. I didn't... I didn't realize.
00:24:26I'm just... I'm just gonna just go somewhere.
00:24:30I just need you. Somewhere very far.
00:24:36Well, that was helpful.
00:24:43Are you okay?
00:24:44Yeah.
00:24:46Dr. Anderson said that the hormone shots would hurt, but it's...
00:24:49It's causing you pain.
00:24:50Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable.
00:24:53But, I mean, it will... it will pass.
00:24:55Oh.
00:24:56Here.
00:24:59Oh, okay.
00:25:06Okay.
00:25:13Thanks.
00:25:17Well, the hormone shots were a part of the agreement, and any resulting pain is technically a work-related issue.
00:25:23And, as your employer, I have a duty of care.
00:25:28Okay.
00:25:54Purely professional care.
00:26:01Huh?
00:26:05Hmm.
00:26:06Purely professional, huh?
00:26:09Hmm.
00:26:16Adrian.
00:26:19Um, about this weekend...
00:26:21I'm sorry. There's an emergency in Atlanta. The merge is falling apart.
00:26:25Thompson, get the jet ready in 20.
00:26:28Your family invited me to dinner.
00:26:31Guess I'll handle it on my own.
00:26:37Well, I don't suppose we should expect punctuality from a person who's probably never had a proper watch in her
00:26:43life.
00:26:44I introduce him to the Lawson Harris, the senator's daughter. I don't understand why he picked this gold digger from
00:26:52God knows where.
00:26:53What did you say she did, Ethan? Retail?
00:26:57Well...
00:26:57Worse. A wannabe writer. She probably thought that landing a Crawford would be her best-selling story.
00:27:03Hmm.
00:27:07Well, I have tried to be welcoming.
00:27:10I had the chef prepare her place setting and everything.
00:27:13She probably couldn't figure out which work to do, though.
00:27:28I apologize for the slight delay.
00:27:33My, my. Trying so hard to look the part.
00:27:38James, do make sure none of the silver goes missing after dinner.
00:27:42I suppose Adrian's credit card is getting some good use.
00:27:46And although money can buy designer clothes, it can't buy breeding.
00:27:50Actually, I made this dress myself.
00:27:56Oh, darling.
00:27:58A seamstress for a daughter-in-law?
00:28:02How quaint.
00:28:04At least we know who's going to be mending Adrian's socks.
00:28:09I may not have been born into privilege, but I was raised with something much more valuable.
00:28:16Integrity.
00:28:17Integrity.
00:28:18Is that what you call seducing your way into our family?
00:28:24How much...
00:28:25How much will it take you to disappear?
00:28:29Name your price.
00:28:29Name your price.
00:28:32The difference between you and I, Mr. Crawford,
00:28:36is that I don't think that everything comes with a price tag.
00:28:40Excuse me.
00:28:49Stay calm.
00:28:53You can do this.
00:28:59Getting all dressed up for me.
00:29:02Baby.
00:29:06What's the rush?
00:29:08We're all family here.
00:29:10Well, almost family.
00:29:12Don't touch me.
00:29:14You used to like it when I touched you.
00:29:16Remember how shy you were?
00:29:19Always saying no.
00:29:21That's off me, bastard!
00:29:23Careful, though.
00:29:25One scream from you and everyone at dinner is going to know what kind of girl you really are.
00:29:31Now, where were we?
00:29:34Ow!
00:29:41Everything all right, dear?
00:29:43You look... flushed.
00:29:45So...
00:29:46As I was saying about...
00:29:48Stop it!
00:29:53Something wrong, Miss Reed?
00:29:55I just...
00:29:56Stop it!
00:29:59Enough!
00:30:00No class?
00:30:02No manners?
00:30:03I don't know how you seduced my son,
00:30:06but someone like you could never deserve a place in this family!
00:30:11I...
00:30:12I'm the one who received her.
00:30:19Who convinced her to give me a chance.
00:30:24Adrian...
00:30:25If anyone's unworthy in this relationship, it's me.
00:30:28You wanna know how we met?
00:30:29She crashed into my life, quite literally.
00:30:32Papers flying, coffee spilled.
00:30:34Unlike some people, she didn't care about my name or my money.
00:30:40She, uh... refused me several times.
00:30:43Called me too arrogant, too controlling.
00:30:45The first woman who dared to stand out to me.
00:30:48And that's when I knew I had to have her.
00:30:50I didn't want to have her.
00:30:55Sir, two things.
00:30:56Your sister has invited Miss Reed to tonight's family dinner.
00:30:59And your jet is ready.
00:31:00You can go now.
00:31:06Cancel it later.
00:31:07I said a merger...
00:31:10Yes, sir.
00:31:13Funny...
00:31:13That last week's family's dinners were...
00:31:15The most pointless waste of time...
00:31:17In existence.
00:31:21Something's more important than business.
00:31:27Oh, what a touching story, Uncle.
00:31:31Too bad it's either a complete lie or she's been playing us both.
00:31:37What are you talking about?
00:31:39We've been dating for three years.
00:31:42I have pictures of us together.
00:31:48What?
00:31:50She probably planned this from the start.
00:31:52Dating me to get close to the family, then...
00:31:55Setting her sights higher.
00:31:57You manipulative little trick.
00:31:59Face it, Uncle.
00:32:00You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:32:05Face it, Uncle.
00:32:07You're just another rung on her ladder to the top.
00:32:14That's for every lie you just told.
00:32:19Adrian!
00:32:20How dare you hit my son!
00:32:22Where do you think you're going?
00:32:23We are not the finish here yet!
00:32:25Yes, we are.
00:32:31I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone with that.
00:32:34Thank you for coming back.
00:32:35And for making up such a beautiful story about us.
00:32:43Your hands, what happened?
00:33:00As my fiancée, you have access to the family accounts.
00:33:04I expect you to use them.
00:33:06I... I didn't want to presume.
00:33:08You're a Crawford now.
00:33:20Doctor Anderson.
00:33:21Mr. Crawford.
00:33:22The embryos are ready.
00:33:24So we can...
00:33:25...proceed with the implantation tomorrow morning.
00:33:27I see.
00:33:31what is it is something wrong with the embryos i've been thinking
00:33:36perhaps we should approach this matter in a more natural manner between the husband
00:33:45and wife what are your thoughts
00:33:51i think that we should go to bed we have a really big day tomorrow
00:33:57so i mean good night
00:34:07you know you look like a giant polar bear in that outfit focus on the procedure
00:34:15try to relax mrs crawford
00:34:25there see that white spot
00:34:29that's our baby
00:34:35you know i can walk doctor's orders you seem more nervous than i do
00:34:45i'm merely following medical procedure
00:34:57look at her she's acting like a princess
00:35:02she was probably a waitress last week
00:35:05okay now she's got mr crawford wrapped around her finger
00:35:19oh
00:35:23oh
00:35:24oh
00:35:45Adrian!
00:35:46Hmm, not quite.
00:35:47Looking a bit unstable there, baby.
00:35:49Let go of me!
00:35:50Come on, you used to love being in my arms.
00:35:54Remember how we would spend hours at the cafe?
00:35:58You would lean into me while reading your favorite book?
00:36:01Did she?
00:36:04Adrian!
00:36:05I was just getting food, I swear.
00:36:11Get out!
00:36:16My stomach.
00:36:18Tyler, what's wrong?
00:36:18In my stomach, I think that there's something wrong.
00:36:21If anything, anything happens to my fiancé or child, I can't guarantee what I'll do.
00:36:28And you.
00:36:30What you want, you'll never have.
00:36:34Never.
00:36:40Child.
00:36:40Three years, she wouldn't let me touch her.
00:36:44And a few weeks, with my uncle, and she's carrying his child.
00:36:48You want the perfect family.
00:36:51Whoa.
00:36:54It's not gonna happen.
00:37:06Thompson, clear my schedule.
00:37:08Everything over the next month goes to Jack.
00:37:10Sir, what happened?
00:37:11Do you need my help?
00:37:12You can't help on this one.
00:37:14Just do what I say.
00:37:17You and Ethan, you've never really gotten along, have you?
00:37:31You seem very concerned about him.
00:37:34I, I just...
00:37:35Just get some rest.
00:37:36It's been a rough day for you.
00:37:38Adrian, why did you choose to believe me just now?
00:37:42No reason.
00:37:44I just know you're not like that.
00:37:46Thanks.
00:37:47Get some rest.
00:37:49Do whatever makes you comfortable.
00:37:51Anything at all, I'll be around.
00:37:53Anything I want?
00:37:55Are you sure about that?
00:38:10What the...
00:38:23What are you doing?
00:38:25This isn't nutritious.
00:38:27The baby wants chocolate.
00:38:30The baby wants chocolate.
00:38:32Yeah.
00:38:33And chips and ice cream.
00:38:36You wouldn't want to deny your child, would you?
00:38:39I've been researching optimal pregnancy nutrition.
00:38:43See, week by week, guidelines.
00:38:45Okay, okay, okay.
00:38:46How about a compromise?
00:38:48One treat per day.
00:38:51Half a treat.
00:38:53Three quarters.
00:39:16Congratulations.
00:39:18The fetus is developing perfectly.
00:39:21Really?
00:39:23Everything looks wonderful.
00:39:25Now that we're in the stable period,
00:39:27I would recommend you starting some prenatal exercise.
00:39:31What kind of exercise?
00:39:35Now, hold her from behind in a maternal post.
00:39:45Maybe we should skip this part.
00:39:48Good train.
00:39:49Let's do it properly.
00:39:50Guide her arms up.
00:40:17Beautiful form, Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford.
00:40:22Maybe we should continue this at home.
00:40:24Yeah, please.
00:40:43The charity gala isn't a test.
00:40:47Your father specifically invited me to attend.
00:41:08You look perfect.
00:41:12Just be yourself.
00:41:18Then this...
00:41:22This is not me.
00:41:43It's been too long.
00:41:50You look exactly the same.
00:42:02And you must be the fiancée.
00:42:05I'm so pleased Adrienne has found someone after all these years.
00:42:09That's really kind, but I'm sorry.
00:42:12Who are you?
00:42:15I'm just someone who cares about Adrienne's happiness.
00:42:18More than anyone else.
00:42:25Oh, my God.
00:42:28You two are finally back together.
00:42:31Everyone, look who's here.
00:42:33The golden couple.
00:42:36I heard Adrienne Crawford was engaged.
00:42:39I knew it was you, Vivian.
00:42:41When is the wedding?
00:42:45Actually, I'd like to introduce you all to my fiancée, Lala Reid.
00:42:56We're expecting our first child, and of course, you're all welcome to the wedding.
00:43:01She's pregnant?
00:43:03Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:43:05I just assumed congratulations for you both.
00:43:12Adrienne Crawford and a complete unknown?
00:43:15How did you manage that?
00:43:16Adrienne chose her over Vivian.
00:43:18Is he crazy?
00:43:20Oh, Benji, how have you been?
00:43:22Great.
00:43:24Let's go, man.
00:43:31They can be so judgmental, can't they?
00:43:34Don't take it too personally, dear.
00:43:42Gentlemen!
00:43:43What are you all talking about?
00:43:50They do look like the perfect couple.
00:44:05Drinking?
00:44:06I thought you were pregnant.
00:44:08None of your business.
00:44:13You know how Adrienne is.
00:44:15Always has to win.
00:44:17Especially against me.
00:44:18He hates when I take things from him.
00:44:21What are you talking about?
00:44:29Perfect couple, right?
00:44:32Until...
00:44:33Dun-dun-dun...
00:44:36Vivian fell madly in love with me.
00:44:39Leaving dear Uncle heartbroken.
00:44:43Since then,
00:44:44whatever I want,
00:44:46he has to take.
00:44:48Whatever I have,
00:44:50he has to win.
00:44:52Like you.
00:44:54What you want,
00:44:55you never have.
00:44:57Never.
00:44:58You and Ethan,
00:45:00you've never really
00:45:01gone along, have you?
00:45:04You don't get it.
00:45:06Stop being naive.
00:45:08You're just his tool for revenge.
00:45:18I'm just his tool for revenge.
00:45:30I'm just his tool for revenge.
00:45:34What do you think you're doing?
00:45:35You are pregnant.
00:45:37Why are you drinking?
00:45:38Oh, now you care.
00:45:43It's soda.
00:45:44I know what I'm doing.
00:45:59What happened back there?
00:46:01Talk to me.
00:46:04Mila,
00:46:04I am worried.
00:46:06So you talked to Ethan,
00:46:07but not me.
00:46:10Oh, you do care so much
00:46:12about your nephew,
00:46:13don't you?
00:46:28Mila, open the door.
00:46:32Please.
00:46:33Oh, my God.
00:47:04The eggs are still warm.
00:47:07I apologize about last night. I was just worried about you.
00:47:13Worried about me or worried about the baby?
00:47:19What do you mean?
00:47:21Is this why you're being so nice to me?
00:47:24Making me breakfast, being all protective.
00:47:28It's just for the baby.
00:47:31Lily, you've been so strange since yesterday. Why?
00:47:36Was Vivian your girlfriend?
00:47:43Yes.
00:47:51And then she got with Ethan?
00:47:55Yes.
00:47:57Okay, so I'm just...
00:47:59Vivian and I were...
00:48:06Sir, the single version is falling apart.
00:48:08We need to immediately.
00:48:09I'm in the middle of summer.
00:48:11The board is threatening to pull out.
00:48:14I'll be there.
00:48:21We need to finish this conversation as soon as I get back.
00:48:24Of course. Business first.
00:48:31Lila.
00:48:44Sir, there have been complications.
00:48:47Explain.
00:48:48During her absence, Mr. Ethan has been meeting with board members.
00:48:52Suggesting her sudden marriage plans indicate obstacle decision-making.
00:48:58Several executors are questioning if someone so personally distracted should in her the company.
00:49:23Mr. Crawford, we've been discussing my personal life.
00:49:26Your sudden access has let me be very clear.
00:49:35This company took a 40% profit loss before I took over.
00:49:40Within three years, I tripled our market share.
00:49:43Every major merger, every successful acquisition, every stock surge, my execution, my strategies.
00:49:51So yes, I am getting married.
00:49:54And yes, I took some time off.
00:49:56And no, not a single person in this room has the right to question my commitment or my capability.
00:50:04Because without me, there wouldn't be a company left to inherit.
00:50:13Now, shall we discuss the merger?
00:50:31No, shall we discuss the merger?
00:50:45No.
00:50:57Adrian, what the hell were you thinking at the board meeting yesterday?
00:51:02I was doing my job.
00:51:04Your job is to follow the family's strategy.
00:51:07Ever since she came into your life, you've been undermining everything we've built.
00:51:14You leave Lila out of this.
00:51:16You know, I don't have to stand here and listen to this.
00:51:19Yeah, run along. Adolfs are talking business now.
00:51:24We just need to bore him for a moment, dear. Business matters. You wouldn't understand.
00:51:36That girl is a poison to the Crawford name.
00:51:45She's nothing but a broodmare. After she delivers, pay her off and be done with it.
00:51:53Adrian needs someone who understands this world. Someone like me.
00:51:59Vivian is joining Crawford Industries tomorrow. Non-negotiable. She will follow you every day, just like before.
00:52:08And your little pet project can't stay home and just stay. That's all she's good for.
00:52:16Get out! Both of you!
00:52:18How dare you!
00:52:19If you dare mention my wife's name again, I will burn Crawford Industries to the ground before either of you
00:52:25get to touch it!
00:52:26Adrian, be reasonable!
00:52:28She is worth a thousand of you.
00:52:32Tomorrow, 9am, Vivian starts. No discussion.
00:52:38Is that all?
00:52:39Yes, for now.
00:52:41But don't disappoint me again.
00:52:46Time is dying again.
00:53:18Stop it!
00:53:19Stop checking. This is ridiculous. I was independent before. I don't need a man to make me breakfast in bed
00:53:31and to hold me whilst I sleep. No! I'm not going to be that girl.
00:53:41I can make my own meals. I don't need his perfectly prepared little plates or his nutritional spreadsheets.
00:53:52Improved marrow. Way to get back at Ethan.
00:54:02Lilo!
00:54:03I'm fine!
00:54:05You're not fine! Hospital! Now!
00:54:07I'm fine!
00:54:22Thanks. I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciated you today.
00:54:29You know, you used to look at me like that. All sweet. Sincere.
00:54:36Don't.
00:54:38Why not? Is there really no chance for us?
00:54:41Ethan!
00:54:44Lilo, he's just using you. You're his revenge against me. A tool. And you deserve better than that.
00:54:54Adrian, stop! What are you doing?
00:54:58I'm protecting you.
00:54:59From what? He's helping. He brought me here. My hand was bleeding.
00:55:03So now you're defending him?
00:55:04No, I'm defending the truth. Sometimes, I guess people surprise you.
00:55:10I see.
00:55:14Adrian...
00:55:14I'll call the doctor to come.
00:55:20I want a full blood panel, fetal monitoring, bring the OB-GYN down immediately.
00:55:25Sir, it's just the one to come.
00:55:27I want a full prenatal checkup. I've already spoken to Dr. Anderson. He's going to be down here in 10
00:55:31minutes.
00:55:33Always so control, aren't you uncle?
00:55:37Some of us actually know how to make Lila happy.
00:55:42Remember our beach dates?
00:55:46How you said I was the most fun you ever had?
00:55:52Thompson, bring in the catering. The Michelin star one.
00:55:56Lila says she's got a hankering for Australian Wagyu beef.
00:56:00Oh, well done. No sauce.
00:56:03I don't think that I did say...
00:56:05How about when we watched your favorite movie?
00:56:08Pride and Prejudice. BBC adaptation, 1995.
00:56:11She likes to watch it when she's still stressed.
00:56:14Which is why I upgraded our home theater system.
00:56:17To have all the original films from the BBC archive.
00:56:20You did what?
00:56:21Wow!
00:56:25Using money to get to her heart.
00:56:27Huh, uncle.
00:56:30Oh.
00:56:32Oh, the Al Starmer's wings fully renovated.
00:56:35Named after Lila's grandmother.
00:56:37As she mentioned.
00:56:38Oh, it's a fully funded.
00:56:41Anonymous donor.
00:56:42Hmm.
00:56:47He may be able to offer you money, but you're gonna miss this.
00:56:51Yes.
00:57:04Is this normal rich people behavior?
00:57:07Chai, smile, ma.
00:57:10I've already ordered the prenatal vitamins.
00:57:12They should arrive shortly.
00:57:13They're custom formulated to her blood and genetic profile.
00:57:17Wow.
00:57:18He remembered all that about me.
00:57:19I remember everything about you.
00:57:25Maybe you should come back when there's less testosterone in the air.
00:57:31Guys, she's tired.
00:57:32We should leave.
00:57:33Let her rest.
00:57:43Is this just another competition, Ethan?
00:57:46Or does he actually care?
00:57:58Hmm.
00:57:59Hmm.
00:58:00Hmm.
00:58:00Hmm.
00:58:03Hmm.
00:58:04Hmm.
00:58:05Hmm.
00:58:05Yes, father?
00:58:06Vivian's been hospitalized.
00:58:08Overwork, they say, from cleaning up your company's mess.
00:58:12I have meetings.
00:58:14I have meetings.
00:58:14Cancel them.
00:58:15Go to visit her right now.
00:58:18Either you show proper respect to the woman I chose for you, or else I will have to call an
00:58:24emergency board meeting.
00:58:42You came.
00:58:45Let's skip the performance, Vivian.
00:58:50Still so cold.
00:58:51Don't.
00:58:52Don't you remember when you used to bring me soup when I was unwell?
00:58:56That was a long time ago.
00:58:59We were really great together, Adrian.
00:59:01We could be together again.
00:59:03I don't know what game you're playing at, but it won't work.
00:59:05What we had, I never took it as seriously as you pretended to.
00:59:12But Lila, she's different.
00:59:14She's real.
00:59:16A pregnant gold digger is real?
00:59:19Please.
00:59:25I guess some things never change.
00:59:32Watch your words.
00:59:35Stay away from my wife.
00:59:45My little girl.
00:59:47Daddy.
00:59:48No.
00:59:50Your hand.
00:59:52It's nothing.
00:59:55I need to tell you something.
00:59:58I'm gonna be a mother.
01:00:00Is it that Ethan boys?
01:00:01No.
01:00:02No.
01:00:03Then who?
01:00:04It doesn't matter.
01:00:05But what does matter is that this is my baby.
01:00:09And I'm gonna love them so much.
01:00:12With all the love that you gave me.
01:00:16Baby.
01:00:18I'm so sorry.
01:00:20I'm sorry I couldn't give you better.
01:00:24Daddy.
01:00:25If only I were healthy.
01:00:26If I could work.
01:00:27Daddy, don't.
01:00:30The hospital bills.
01:00:32What are you getting money for?
01:00:34Don't tell me you sold yourself to some men.
01:00:37No.
01:00:37No.
01:00:38No.
01:00:38It's not like that.
01:00:39Did someone take advantage of you?
01:00:41My little girl pregnant all alone.
01:00:44She's not alone.
01:00:49Hi, Mr. Reid.
01:00:51I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:00:52I'm Adrian Crawford.
01:00:55I'm the father of her child.
01:00:57Adrian.
01:00:59I'm not just the father.
01:01:00I'm the man who's gonna spend the rest of his life making sure your daughter and our child get everything
01:01:05they deserve.
01:01:06Pretty words from a rich man.
01:01:09Not words.
01:01:10Facts.
01:01:11I've already arranged a transfer to a private medical facility.
01:01:14Full treatment plan.
01:01:15Best specialists.
01:01:16Adrian.
01:01:18And I promise you this.
01:01:21Every morning, she's gonna wake up knowing that she is cherished.
01:01:25Every decision I make, every step I take will be to ensure her happiness.
01:01:30You really mean that, don't you?
01:01:32Yes, sir, I do.
01:01:36Well...
01:01:38Maybe...
01:01:39I can stop worrying now.
01:01:49For what you said in there.
01:01:51I know you were just trying to make my father feel better.
01:01:54No, no, no, no.
01:01:55I wasn't just doing anything.
01:01:57Every word I said in there is true.
01:02:00Adrian.
01:02:06Laila, I need to tell you something.
01:02:09I've been falling for you ever since you crashed into my office with that ridiculous donor questionnaire.
01:02:14Yes, we had a contract, but...
01:02:17I realized...
01:02:19You've become everything to me.
01:02:22You're not my surrogate.
01:02:25You're not my convenient fiancee.
01:02:29You're my partner.
01:02:32If you have me.
01:02:36But what about Ethan and Vivian?
01:02:38What about them?
01:02:42Aren't you trying to just get revenge on Ethan and...
01:02:45Revenge?
01:02:46I never loved Vivian.
01:02:48And Ethan, he's not worth his second thought.
01:02:50Really?
01:02:52Then who was the guy I saw competing with Ethan?
01:02:59That was...
01:03:03I was jealous, okay?
01:03:06I...
01:03:07The thought of you with him.
01:03:09Wow.

01:20:04You've been at this for hours.
01:20:07I just got to finish this last chapter.
01:20:13I'll get you some food.
01:20:24What do you mean you're cancelling the contract?
01:20:27We've worked together for 10 years.
01:20:32No, no, no.
01:20:33Don't call Adrian.
01:20:35Hello?
01:20:36Hello?
01:20:37Hello?
01:20:38The Singapore merger just collapsed.
01:20:40They say they'll only work with Adrian.
01:20:42This is all your fault.
01:20:43You and your billion plan to get rid of them.
01:20:46My fault?
01:20:46You're the one who can't handle basic accounting.
01:20:49Enough.
01:20:51The board meeting starts in five minutes.
01:20:53Please tell me you have good news.
01:21:04Oh my God.
01:21:06This story sounds exactly like the Cal 4 scandal.
01:21:09Wait, is this about the Adrian Crawford?
01:21:14The billionaire said you're giving up everything for love and crying.
01:21:21Is everything okay?
01:21:23I think I just went viral.
01:21:26They figured out stories about us.
01:21:29Look.
01:21:30Should I be concerned about what else you've revealed about me?
01:21:49Have you seen the comments?
01:21:51They're calling us heartless villains.
01:21:54I can't believe they're trying to suppress on true love businesses.
01:21:59Crawford Industries lost my business.
01:22:01Team Adrian, all the way.
01:22:04Yes, Penguin Publishing.
01:22:06Sorry, I actually have Random House on the other line.
01:22:09So I'm going to have to...
01:22:11The movie rights?
01:22:14Um, I'm sorry.
01:22:15I'm going to have to call you right back.
01:22:17Okay, thank you.
01:22:18The movie rights.
01:22:20What?
01:22:21Oh my God.
01:22:21My wife is so popular now.
01:22:23I know.
01:22:28Your father?
01:22:33Son.
01:22:35The board wants you back.
01:22:37Take your position.
01:22:38Your inheritance.
01:22:40I'll have to ask my wife.
01:22:43What do you think, Mrs. Crawford?
01:22:50First order of business.
01:22:51Starting without me.
01:22:53Perfect timing.
01:22:55I'm announcing your termination.
01:22:57You can't fire me.
01:22:59I'm a shareholder and a senior executive.
01:23:02The company crisis last month wasn't an accident.
01:23:06You and Ethan deliberately sabotaged our dealings.
01:23:09You can't prove any free...
01:23:11Email every call, every secret meeting without...
01:23:15Editors.
01:23:16All documented.
01:23:17Lawsuit's already been filed.
01:23:19You and Ethan will be hearing from our lawyers.
01:23:22Oh.
01:23:24Oh.
01:23:31Oh my God.
01:23:33Yeah.
01:23:39Adrian.
01:23:40I, uh, I think my water just broke.
01:23:43Yeah.
01:23:44Come home.
01:23:48Mr. Crawford, they vote for new director.
01:23:56For her, he'd drop everything.
01:24:00Including a multi-billion dollar card.
01:24:11Before we vote, there is something you should know.
01:24:15Adrian and Lila were legally married two months ago.
01:24:20And they have my full blessing.
01:24:37Both my girls still awake?
01:24:44I leave the room.
01:24:46I'm just finishing.
01:24:48I'm just finishing.
01:24:57I'm just finishing.
